Importing GA from the US - who's the best?

Gidday.

Set on importing a B58 from the US, can't find a good post-1984 plane here.

Who's the best in the business for the whole process - inspection, buy, ferry, import admin?

Thanks

I would second young Mark, he does a good job of crating them.Don't know if he has done any ferries but the cost of a ferry flight can be enormous.

Fuel alone for a Chieftain UK-SYD is about $35-40k and the insurance premiums for a trans-pacific ferry are about the same as the annual premium.

Avgas is getting harder to get in a lot of places too

Aus market quite down at the moment. If you can find what you want, you'll probably do much better here.
